    About this ebook

    ‘To Fall or To Fly’ dives into the beauty and harsh reality of life portrayed through poetry and paintings. It is a raw expression of love and time, conflict, and adventure. The chapters are categorized by the timeless Greek gods who represent the theme of the poems. Part of our language has been derived from these gods, marking their influence as the muses of language and culture. This book takes you on a journey through realms of emotion, exploring the struggles and passions of our mortal lives.
